Cal was my favourite brother in books 1 and 2 and I really thought for the first 300 pages that he had been done dirty in this book!
Up to page 300, the plot felt lacking, the ex and town were insufferable and it was making me dislike the book. Glad I pushed through to the end as I enjoyed Cal’s character development/ redemption and how well addiction was represented. The book also rounded off the series well.
Cami and Cal probably ended up being my two favourite characters of the book.

The only problem is.... Alana hates him. (Rightfully so). Before Cal broke her heart into pieces they experienced a love that no one could forget.
"You told me you wouldn't ever leave me." he promised. It's the only reason I let him shatter our friendship with a single kiss. Because I was just as invested in our future as a couple as he seemed to be. He looks up with cloudy eyes. "I'm sorry." -Alana and Cal
"A part of me hope that he found happiness in the 6 years we spent apart. Not with someone else, but with himself. He is no better than the day he left."-Alana
But they just can't resist each other.
"Anything for you." Three words. Five syllables. One punch in the gut. -Callahan and Alana
After some time, Alana finally begins to trust Cal again. She is falling back into love with him since he makes it so damn hard not to.
"I left her arm up and nudge Lana to do the same. She copies me, causing Cami to swing between us. The giggle she lets out makes my whole heart threatened to burst like a confetti cannon." -Cal
Cal finally realized what his grandfather really meant in his letter. Why he sent him there again. Why he needs to get sober. It's for himself. So he can be there for his family.
"I make the same wish I did back at Dreamland, although I have no candle or cake to make it official. I wish to kick my addiction for good." -Cal
Cal is determined to kick his addiction and be the man that Lana needs. Be the dad that Cami wants. And finally be the happiest version of himself.
